The Russian has 31 points in this year’s playoffs, which is the second-most points by a player since 1997. Kuznetsov jumped over the 30-point threshold after tallying four assists against the Vegas Golden Knights in Game Four.

Kuznetsov’s first assist, a primary helper, came 9:54 into the first period to put the Capitals on the board 1-0. After initially skating the puck up the ice, Kuznetsov dished to Nicklas Backstrom before getting the puck back and firing a shot on net. The rebound bounced to a hard-charging TJ Oshie who finished the play.

Nearly seven minutes later, Kuznetsov authored his second primary assist of the night after brilliantly finding Tom Wilson hanging out in the slot.

Wilson had this to say after the game.

Wilson on Kuznetsov: "He just tells me to put my stick on the ice and he’ll hit it."
